Just read through this entire thread. Definitely some valuable info.
I've got a retop SR and plan on undergoing the VE head swap this winter, and I have a question about engine management. I saw 3-4 guys in this thread running AEM and 2 running Haltech. Others also said nismotronic with an RPM switch.
Some info on setup:
I was thinking of retaining the 20V CAS to use my Wiring Specialties harness. I will be utilizing LS2 coilpacks. I will also be using a MAFS on my planned setup. I do not think I am interested in the hall effect sensor (still not sure what that is).
I guess my question is what would be in my best interest? I have no problem shelling out for a standalone if it will go to good and eficient use.. I am kinda leaning towards the AEM EMS. I am looking for the EMS to control the solenoids/switch over point so I can just wire it up and have full control to play around with.

Also, is it possible to run two seperate maps? - One for when out of VVL, then when it kicks - One for in VVL. Thanks for any and all information/comments on this.

EDIT: Also, if by going standalone I have to do a lot of wiring - so beit..
